Jury finds boston herald libeled Judge-Is Oreilley liable too?
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050218/D88B5UE00.html A jury found that the herald libeled the judge when it printed that the judge told a young rape victum to "get over it" Problem is the judge never said it. orielly was "outraged" by this and hammered the judge and tried to get his minions to hound him out of office. Question...Is Olielly liable as well since he promoted this fiction as well?

1. They don't give details
but if O'Reiley merely said the Boston Herald said . . . and either the judge didn't do anything or O'Reiley mentioned the judge denied it, then he probably is OK. The standard for libel in this case is pretty high.
